Re: Anybody want my V?
Never needed tint. Was gonna get it done, didn't bother.
I could have told you about the rattles. Don't know about the dash one, the one in back is coming from the C pillar covers. They're like cardboard and rub against the other trim panels.
What clips are you talking about? The engine cover should be secure.
The fascia I couldn't do anything about. Thats number 3. I wasn't putting on number 4, and apparently, neither were they.

Re: Anybody want my V?
I figured you didn't get tint and if you did it would be light and I'd do it darker anyway.
The one in the dash is audible/loud going over the bridges and rough roads. But, again, luckily the roads are smooth and flat over here.
Not the engine cover. It's called the "shield" I figured they took it off when they did the HX and lost the clips or some shit. http://www.trademotion.com/schematics/B/BE11035.gif "5"
What do you mean number 3 and 4?

The only clips on the shroud were the push/screw fasteners. They were all there when I left the car.
What I mean by 3 and 4 is, I already replaced that stupid air dam twice, so the one on there is number 3, and they didn't want to replace it again to put on number 4.

Oh! LOL! You must be sitting on quite a few DS and Center pieces. Mine was cracked in the same exact place. And apparently when I fixed it, it already had glue on it. On top of that, everybody is looking for the PS. Hmmm!

Re: Anybody want my V?
Nah, not sitting on anything. The whole thing was replaced both times.

Looks like the tint is a go. I was getting worried I'd have to pay $250+ but I found a tint shop to do it for $135. Next is finding wheel touch-up paint that isn't $20 for an ounce.

GM doesn't sell it, and neither do any of the normal paint places. Its gotta be custom mixed.

Re: Anybody want my V?
Also, where are the scratches? I can't find them. But that's probably a good thing. I'm not sure I want to know.

Re: Anybody want my V?
Thats not the same color. The wheel color is "satin graphite", code 784U. I already tried the Escalade/SRX paint. It doesn't match.
The scratches were on the front right fender just above and behind the wheel at like the 10-11 o'clock position.

Damn. Oh well. Already took some flat black paint to them and they look so much better... from far away. Up close, they look slightly less shitty.
Right as in PS?

I don't see it, but that's a good thing. The detail shop probably buffed it out. More importantly, I need to datalog it and fix the bumper trim.

Re: Anybody want my V?
How many WOT runs before I break something? Maybe I'll dial back on the tune until I get injectors?
